Product Specifications

This plastic and aluminum 3d printer accessories Acme Nut Block is a versatile piece of hardware that serves more than one purpose. It can be mounted to the bottom of a 3mm/1/8" plate utilizing M5 nylon insert nuts and 15mm M5 screws or it can also be directly attached to V-Slot using two channels with 15mm M5 low profile screws and two tee nuts. These mounting choices allow for a wide range of modular machine applications.

This anti-backlash nut is a great choice for machines that require high precision linear motion with zero play or slop. It is designed such that the set screw tightens against the thread removing any play between the ACME lead screw and the threaded nut.

The Roton product line offers Acme lead screw and nut assemblies in bronze, steel and plastic. Acme lead screw and nut combinations provide a mechanical advantage that varies from 10% to 20% based on the lead angle, coefficient of friction and nut material.

These acme lead screw and nut combinations are cold formed using a unique thread rolling process that assures a smooth, accurate, high quality thread. This process eliminates the interrupted grain flow of conventional cut threads, resulting in increased yield, ultimate and fatigue strengths.

Whether you are building a 3D printing system or another type of rapid prototyping machine, the precision required to move objects along linear ball bearing guides can be difficult to achieve without accurate lead screw and nut assemblies. These precision-engineered components from Helix Linear Technologies provide a cost-effective way to achieve the accuracy and repeatability necessary for high-speed, high-precision linear motion applications.

Helix Linear Technologies provides a wide range of highly configurable flexible shaft coupling, precision-engineered lead and acme screw assemblies for use on 3D printers and rapid prototyping systems. They are designed to work in conjunction with the stepper motor and linear ball bearing guides on the X and Y axes of your machine. Contact Helix Linear Technologies to learn how they can help you achieve the accuracy, precision and performance that you need for your next 3D printing project.

Product Installation

Plastic And Aluminum 3d Printer Accessories Acme Nut Block is a great way to add some flair and functionality to your build. Featuring a delrin plastic construction, this is a durable and lightweight alternative to traditional metal components. It can also be paired with a variety of other 3d printing accessories to create a robust and versatile machine for eccentric spacer.

The product's name is derived from its main component, an 8mm lead screw with an anti-backlash feature to boot. As a bonus, this particular model was designed to be compatible with the OpenBuilds system, making it a breeze to assemble and allowing for a streamlined print process.

Typically, this type of acme nut is used on the bottom of a gantry plate or directly on the V-Slot extrusion. This particular version is a slick solution that features two channels for the big boy of screws, a cleverly designed set screw that tightens the nut and a nifty sleeve to hold it all in place. It can be mounted along any length of V-Slot, a feat that would be nearly impossible with standard screws and nuts. This is a truly impressive item, which is why it's one of our best-selling items. It has been designed with the discerning 3D printer enthusiast in mind, and is sure to be an eye-catching addition to any home or professional build space.

Product Warranty

This ACME Nut Block can be mounted to the bottom of a 3mm plate using M5 nylon insert nuts and 15mm M5 screws or it can be directly attached to V-Slot extrusion utilizing two channels with 15mm M5 low profile screws and two tee nuts. These mounting options allow for a variety of modular machine applications.

This delrin plastic Anti-Backlash ACME Nut Block is a great addition to any 3D printer or CNC machine for lead screw that requires lead screw linear motion. The unique design of this nut blocks allows you to easily remove the play between the thread of the ACME lead screw and the thread of the nut block by turning the set screw just enough to take out the play. The levered section of this nut also allows you to lock it in place by screwing the top lock nut.

The 8mm ACME Nut Block is a great choice for many projects that require lead screw linear motion. The delrin plastic construction is lightweight and is highly durable.
